Is Melatonin the “Next Vitamin D”? A Review of Emerging Science, Clinical Uses, Safety, and Dietary Supplements
Deanna M. Minich et al. Melatonin has become a popular dietary supplement, most known as a chronobiotic, and for establishing healthy sleep. Research over the last decade into cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, fertility, PCOS, and many other conditions, combined with the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to greater awareness of melatonin because of its ability […]
The Serotonin Connection
Robert A. Nash Serotonin metabolism is disordered in a variety of clinical states. These include addictions, attention deficit disorder, chronic pain, depression, dysthymia, eating disorders, headache, obsessive-compulsive disorders, panic, poor impulse control, post-traumatic stress disorders, premenstrual syndrome, sleep disorders, stress disorders, sudden cardiac death and violence. A decreased serotonin state has also been implicated in […]
Melatonin as a Potential Treatment for SARS-CoV-2
Joseph Mercola More than 140 scientific studies suggest melatonin is a useful agent for treating SARS- CoV-2, according to research published in Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences. Melatonin was most often researched for its ability to suppress inflammation and the cytokine storm related to COVID-19. When people with COVID-19 were given melatonin, either alone or […]
Quercetin and Vitamin C: Synergistic Therapy for COVID-19
Joseph Mercola Vitamin C and quercetin have synergistic effects that make them useful in the prevention and early at-home treatment of COVID-19. Both are part of the MATH+ protocol developed by the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Working Group (FLCCC). For COVID-19 prophylaxis, the FLCCC recommends vitamin C, quercetin, zinc, melatonin and vitamin D3. The […]
Dangers of LED Lights
Joseph Mercola LEDs emit nonanalog light that typically has excessive blue frequencies. Regular exposure, especially after sunset, will contribute to worsening of sleep and an increase in disease. When using LEDs, you might end up with increased cellular damage and decreased repair and regeneration. You have cells in your retina responsible for producing melatonin, which […]
Potential Therapeutic Approach of Melatonin against Omicron and Some Other Variants of SARS-CoV-2
Rahima Begum et al. Potential Therapeutic Approach of Melatonin against Omicron and Some Other Variants of SARS-CoV-2 The Omicron variant (B.529) of COVID-19 caused disease outbreaks worldwide because of its contagious and diverse mutations. To reduce these outbreaks, therapeutic drugs and adjuvant vaccines have been applied for the treatment of the disease. However, these drugs […]
Melatonin Drugs Inhibit SARS-CoV-2 Entry into the Brain and Virus-induced Damage of Cerebral Small Vessels
Erika Cecon et al. COVID-19 is a complex disease with short- and long-term respiratory, inflammatory and neurological symptoms that are triggered by the infection with SARS-CoV-2. Invasion of the brain by SARS-CoV-2 has been observed in humans and is postulated to be involved in post COVID condition. Brain infection is particularly pronounced in the K18-hACE2 […]
